the engine as necessary before continuing to use the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven when the
low oil warning light remains on. If the warning light goes on and off, the vehicle may be driven, but oil should
be added at the first opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light stays on, have a trained technician check the vehicle. See following CAUTION.

CAUT ION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent
engine damage.

off.
NOTE: Using the headlights for extended periods of time without the engine running, or with the engine
idling, will discharge the battery.

LIGHT BAR CONTROL
The light bar control is a toggle switch located on the instrument panel above and slightly left of the headlight
control knob. Place the toggle switch in the upper position to illuminate the light bar lights and in the lower
position to turn the light bar lights off.

keeps the seat from moving on its hinges while the vehicle is in operation. To disengage the latch, grasp the
seat back and pull firmly in a forward/upward direction until the latch releases. To engage the seat latch, push
down firmly on the seat back until the seat locks into place. See following WARNING.
The bucket seats are adjustable and can be moved forward or backward to accommodate the driver or passenger. To adjust a seat:
1. Remove the seat from the vehicle.
2. Remove the four bolts and washers from the bottom of the seat mounting plate.
3. Align the mounting plate holes with holes in the seat to achieve the desired seat position.
4. Install washers and bolts and tighten to 96 in-lb (10.8 N·m).
5. Install seat in the vehicle.

ý WARNING
• Make sure seat hinges and latch are securely engaged before operating vehicle.

PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST
Each Husqvarna vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving
your new vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect
each vehicle to ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to ensure that
the vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Periodic Service Schedule on page 24.
Any problems should be corrected by a Husqvarna distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight. Check hose clamps for tight fit and the starter belt for tightness.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place.
See pages 4 and 5.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a
daily basis. See Vehicle Specifications on page 36.
• Battery: Before using vehicle for the first time, check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level
(Figure 26, Page 33). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and battery
should be fully charged.
• Engine: Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil on page 27.
Page 14

2005 HUV4213 Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual

Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist
• Fuel: Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions on page 31. Check fuel tank, lines, fuel cap, pump,
fuel filters, and carburetor for fuel leakage on a daily basis.
• Exhaust system: Check for leaks.
• Hydraulic brakes: Check fluid level. See Master Cylinder on page 27.

PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any problems should be corrected by a Husqvarna distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
• Forward/Reverse shifter: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators on page 10.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pressure, it should not go more than halfway to the floorboard, and vehicle should come to a smooth,
straight stop. If the brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floorboard, or if the vehicle swerves or
fails to stop, have the brake system checked and adjusted as required. When brake pedal is fully
pressed under heavy pressure, pedal should feel firm and foot pad should be a minimum of 2 inches
(5.1 cm) from floorboard. Brake adjustment must be maintained so the brake pedal cannot be pressed
to the floorboard under any circumstance.
• Park brake: Apply moderate pressure to park brake handle. Tension should increase as the handle is
pulled. When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on an
incline of 20% or less).
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is
in the REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator: After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the Forward/Reverse handle in
the FORWARD position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal
is pressed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should
idle. Husqvarna vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor: Check maximum vehicle speed. It should operate in forward at 17-19 mph (27-31 km/h) on
a level surface.
• Differential lock cable: With the wheels at rest, pull the differential lock handle toward the rear of the

NOTE: An oil drip guard can be used to prevent excess oil from dripping into the engine base place. Use
an empty quart (1 liter) container and cut the bottom off at an angle, then slide the open area of the
container up and under the oil filter prior to removal. Position the port of the plastic container so oil
will be directed into the oil pan (Figure 20). A drip guard can be made by folding a piece of cardboard, thin metal, or plastic under the oil filter, forming a channel to direct the filter port oil into the
drain pan.
Dispose of used oil according to the environmental laws and regulations for your area.
12. Use a clean rag and wipe the oil filter mounting bracket surface clean where the oil filter gasket seats.
13. To help seal the new oil filter to the oil filter mounting bracket, apply a light coat of white lithium NLGI
Number 2 grease (Dow Corning® BR2-Plus or equivalent) or new engine oil to the rubber seal around
the outside surface of the filter before attaching it to the oil filter port (Figure 21). Install the new oil filter
(P/N 603 00 00-06) onto the engine oil filter port. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Use only Husqvarna oil filters (P/N 603 00 00-06) designed for this engine.
14. Tighten the oil filter by hand 2/3 turn after gasket contact. Do not use a band wrench or channel lock plier
to tighten.
15. Lower the vehicle and remove the floor jack from under the rear of the vehicle.
16. Remove the dipstick and add engine oil into the dipstick port. Use a funnel or pour spout to direct the oil
into the dipstick port (Figure 22). With filter change, the engine requires 38 ounces (1.12 liters) of oil per
change. Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade (Figure 23). Replace the dipstick.
17. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten terminals to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m). Coat terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (P/N 603 00 00-03).
18. Lower the cargo bed. See WARNING “For vehicles with cargo beds...” on page 8.
19. With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, start and run the engine for a few minutes.
Observe both the drain plug and the oil filter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If leaks
appear, begin with step 1 and repeat the appropriate step for either or both items to correct the problem.
20. Remove the dipstick and check the engine oil as a final step. Replace the dipstick.

2005 HUV4213 Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual

Page 33

Cleaning the Vehicle
Be sure battery hold-down clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 12 ft-lb (16.3 N·m). A loose clamp may
allow the battery to become damaged from vibration or jarring.
If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged
any longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).

CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Each vehicle is equipped with an ABS/DR acrylic front body and an all-aluminum rear body. The HUV4213
has a powder-coated steel cargo bed. Use commercial automotive cleaning solutions with a sponge or soft
cloth for normal cleaning. A garden hose at normal residential water pressure is adequate. To remove oxidation or discoloration from aluminum, use a commercially available aluminum cleaner paste and fine grade
(No. 00) steel wool.
Husqvarna does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process will expose
electrical components to moisture. Moisture entering electrical components can result in water damage and
subsequent component failure.
Use non-abrasive wax products. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should
be removed immediately to prevent possible stains.
The front body is made of an ABS/DR acrylic cap material similar to the material used to manufacture hot tubs
and shower/tub units. Cleaning and repair techniques for the front body are the same as those used on conventional acrylic sheet. Use cleaning and polishing products available at any hardware store where ABS/DR
acrylic (hot tubs and shower/tub units) are sold.
The seats of the vehicle will last longer with proper cleaning. Use a solution of 10% liquid soap and warm
water applied with a soft cloth. For imbedded dirt, a soft bristle brush may be used. For heavy soiling, difficult
stains, or scratches, blemishes, or other body damage, see the appropriate maintenance and service manual.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.

ACCESSORIES
There is a complete line of accessory equipment available from Husqvarna and our dealers/distributors. You
can obtain the name and phone number of your closest Husqvarna contact by visiting our web site at
www.usa.husqvarna.com.
Care should be taken that these accessories are properly installed by trained technicians, and that they are
used in the manner for which they were designed. See following WARNING.

ý WARNING
• Custom cab assemblies, canopy tops, weatherproof enclosures, and windshields will not
protect occupants from flying objects.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an electric powered bed lift, remove the bed before servicing
the bed lift system.

ELECTRIC WINCH ACCESSORY
If your vehicle is equipped with an electric winch, read and follow all manufacturer safety warnings and
instructions in the winch operator manual, as well as the following WARNING and CAUTION statements.
Make sure a winch warning decal is affixed to the vehicle on the seat support panel next to the receptacle for
the remote operation switch. See Vehicle Feature Identification on beginning page 4.
The winch kit available from Husqvarna includes a remote operation switch, which enables the operator to
move away from the vehicle and cable. See following WARNING and CAUTION.

ý WARNING
• Before beginning a winch operation:
- Turn the key switch to the OFF position, put Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL
position, and engage the park brake.
- Do not use winch while persons are seated on the vehicle.
• Stand to the side and away from the vehicle to operate winch.

CAUT ION
• Use of the winch for an extended period of time could discharge the battery. Keep winch
operations as short as possible, and drive the vehicle for several minutes after the winch
operation to recharge the battery.

SUBSEQUENT OWNER REGISTRATION
In the event a vehicle is bought as a used vehicle, we strongly urge the new owner to register the vehicle with
Husqvarna. This will enable us to contact you if the need arises. Please send your name, address, and serial
